• Time Warp Techno Festival Faces Opposition From Brooklyn Community

    The second US edition of Time Warp, Germany's longest-running techno festival, is scheduled to bring some of the world's best techno, deep house, and minimal producers and DJs to the Bedford Armory in Crown Heights, Brooklyn in two weeks. However, the festival is facing some serious opposition from the community: local residents and elected representatives including Assemblymember Walter Mosley have been voicing concerns regarding various quality of life issues and lobbying City Hall to shut the event down. As Mosley stated to local news outlet DNAinfo, his constituents are mostly worried about parking and "potentially intoxicated" ravers meandering the neighborhood after the event.

  • Richie Hawtin Pens Facebook Apology After Pushing Speaker on Fan

    Thanksgiving is a time for spending time with your family, stuffing your face with incredible food and being thankful for what we have. Over the weekend, dance music fans gave thanks to the techno gods for bringing German indoor dance music festival Time Warp stateside to the 39th Street Pier in Brooklyn for its 20th anniversary. Taking place on Friday, Nov. 28, and Saturday, Nov. 29, the two-day festival featured a lineup that included house and techno heavyweights like Richie Hawtin, Luciano, Dixon, Sven Väth, Joseph Capriati, Dubfire:liveHYBRID, The Martinez Brothers and others. The festival was seemingly successful, but one incident has caught headlines after the festival. One of the premiere DJs on the lineup, Richie Hawtin, was showing off his moves in the booth, and upon seeing a young woman standing there filming the whole thing on her iPhone, he vented his frustration by pushing a monitor onto the fan. After the dust settled and fans had seen the video of him pushing the speaker into the iPhone-wielding fan, Richie Hawtin took to his Facebook page to pen a public apology for the incident.
